Corrupt officials have been forewarned that their days are numbered as China's top graft buster Wang Qishang made clear that the enemy in the fight against corruption is "none other than us, the Chinese people."

Wang pointed that exposure to greed, ambiguity, and superstition has corrupted officials' influences and idealogy, adding that "Such ills seriously threaten the foundation and security of the communist party rule."

He also mentioed two un-named party officials who have been absent on two occasions in October. The two, he said, were being held responsible for "systemic corruption" in their respective departments, the Wall Street Journal reported.

"During the sixth plenary session, the two had asked to leave because their departments were corrupt," he said. "So the party decided to hold them accountable."
